“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12
Whether you are young or old, you can honor your parents. How? By showing respect.
Leviticus 19:3 says, “Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.” Now that word “fear” doesn’t mean to quake in the presence of your parents. That is, you are to have a holy respect for your father and your mother.
You may say, “But, my parents are not worthy of respect.” With all due respect, neither are you. None of us are worthy. Only perfect children can demand perfect parents, and no children are perfect. Our parents are imperfect. We are imperfect. But God is holy, and He says that we are to respect our parents.
What’s your relationship like with your parents?
If you’ve been showing less than the type of biblical respect that God requires, then begin today to turn that around for His glory!
